Philia [w/ DVD, Limited Edition / Type B]

I love this single, especially the cover!!! I don't get why some people don't like it! I love it! I really like the atmosphere of the pv, it's so dark and beautiful~ Hizaki's Solo song, "Desert Apple" impressed me the most. I love how it's sounds weird to me in the beginning but it slowly immersed to a beautiful solo. I love the transition in the song <3

I think both Philia and Judicial Noir are great songs. Of the 3 songs Philia is the perfect one for advertising the CD but Philia's PV needs to transmit more energy also judicial noir too. Desert apple is not being well accepted by some fans. Although it's atmosphere is weird I liked it sometimes is necessary to experiment with other styles so you can see how fans' preference is. But I prefere Versailles' old instrumentals that makes them outstanding; A symphonic metal band. Poster is beautiful , I'll paste it in my room so everybody can see it. Their outfits are amazing, the best ones so far I loved them. Kamijo, Hizaki, Teru, Masashi and Yuki are beautiful like always. It was a great idea to do Type A and Type B. I'm disappointed of trading card it's too simple. Type B CD's cover could be better =/ Versailles is still my favorite band and I hope they come to Mexico again. I'm happy with the CD :D

All of the songs were written by Hizaki this time, but I think they were all pretty good and definately a great improvement from the Destiny single and from a few songs on Jubilee. It was better than I expected after some let-downs. Philia is hard to take seriously after hearing it play in their new TV show, but it's still good. XD Judicial Noir is pretty neat, kind of like the older stuff moreso than Philia. Desert Apple was unexpected. It's really something pretty unique for Versailles, so it's nice to have something like that occassionally. I think for me, the closest thing to it so far is Glowing Butterfly. The poster is pretty nice, but not one of their best. I haven't put mine up yet, but seeing it online, it's not that fantastic. I don't like Kamijo nor Masashi's hair so much, I don't like Hizaki's pose, and I don't like that "under the ground" look, either. But it's not a bad poster. I very much dislike that Versailles are now acting as walking billboards for AatP by wearing the outfits on both this CD cover and in the PV. It is destroying their image and theme. The PV is by far their worst so far. VERY dissappointed. I always loved their PVs until now. The outfits also made the trading cards ugly, too. I hope they never advertise so much like this again. Music: 4 stars Poster: 3 stars Trading card: 2 stars CD cover: 1 star (the back cover looks a little better, though) PV: 2 stars
